Sat, 15 Aug 2009

Wow what a beautiful day for our Anniversary Extravaganza. No rain, temps under 90. Perfect! We'll have beer, food, live music, cake, comedy, authors, more beer, contests, prizes and loads of fun.

I picked up the cake. Phil is picking up the duck sausage and pretzels. Theo and Billy H are setting up the bar. John has the place spic and span. The beer is cold. All we need is you!

Two updates: Carolyn Wyman's Great Philly Cheesesteak Book will be just $10. While supplies last. And she'll be here to sign them. And Grey Lodge 13th Anniversary T-shirts will be at cost! Just $8. While supplies last.

3pm Updates:
  • These beers are on tap - Dock Street Keller Bohemian Pilsner, Dock Street Triskaidekaphilia Dunkel Weisse, Stone Cali-Belgique, Stone Levitation, cask-conditioned Philadelphia Mayfair IPA (firkin), Brooklyn Intensified Coffee Stout (sixtel), Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, Weyerbacher Thirteen (sixtel), cask-conditioned Weyerbacher unfiltered Hops Infusion (firkin).
  • Rey Rico is rocking the house.
  • Gumpers Gone Wild won Grey Lodge Quizzo, Ed and Juli came in a close 2nd.
  • We still have some Cheesesteak Books ($6 off retail) and some shirts for sale.

4pm Updates
  • The first barrel kicked, Dock Street Triskadecaphilia. We have 7 more to tap in the future.
  • 11 year old Victory Old Horizontal is up. 6oz pours.
  • Steve Lyford won the Weyerbacher barrel.
  • Just tapped Victory Schwarz Pils



Draft Beer Changes
This will change all day. Besides what is currently on tap, our beer page has the timing for the tapping of today's beers. We might tap some other stuff too if we get room on the lines.

Our clean out the lines promo must have worked last night since Twin Lakes Winterthur Spring Wheat, Clipper City Heavy Seas Big Dipa, Founders Red Rye, Dock Street Mt. Ranier, Manayunk Yunkers Gold all kicked (though there might be a pint or two of each still on the 2nd floor).

We tapped Dock Street Keller Bohemian Pilsner and Dock Street Triskaidekaphilia Dunkel Weisse. The Bohemian Pilsner is unfiltered and superfresh. The Triskaidekaphilia is a dunkel weisse brewed especially for our 13th Anniversary. People have been loving it.
